SUMMARY:Roles: 2nd Interdisciplinary Gender and Sexuality Postgraduate Colloquium
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/41336
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of the 1st Interdisciplinary Gender and Sexuality Postgraduate Colloquium last year, the second annual conference took place on Friday 11 May 2012. The colloquium attracted many postgraduate researchers as well as undergraduate students from varied disciplines.\n
The colloquium offered new researchers the chance to present their work, alongside more experienced voices, in a friendly environment. The conference largely dealt with the place of gender and sexuality issues within research. Along with Doctoral Researchers at the University of Birmingham, we had paper presenters from SOAS University of London, La Sapienza of Rome, University of Exeter, University of Leicester, University of Liverpool, University of Loughborough, and University of Paris 8.\n
The first keynote address was delivered by Professor Ann Phoenix, Institute of Education, University of London. Her title was 'Young people doing gender and sexuality in talk about masculinities and consumption.'\n
